LIFE IN CHRIST
“so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”
Romans 12:5
Main Text: 2 Corinthians 3:14
The moment that you give your life to Christ, your spirit being is in Christ, the Word of God begins to exert authority over your fleshly desire, the Word of God becomes the only channel that gives life to your spirit man. Take note, as long as you remain in Christ, His Spirit dwells in you. The Bible says, the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him (Hebrews 10:38).
As New Testament believers, I believe we should frequently find scriptures that tell us who we are in Christ, what we have in Him and what we can do because of Him. In doing this, I believe we will find out what we have in Christ Jesus and stop that bully the devil from eroding us of the blessing.
To be in Christ means we have accepted His sacrifices as payment for our own sin. As one who’s born again, you’re of divine life of Christ; your mortal body is no longer based on your blood but of the blood of Jesus Christ. We are hidden in the righteousness of Christ and as a result we are made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Believers have been placed in Christ so whatever happens to Christ happens to us.
It’s imperative we know that we are of God and in Christ Jesus because that’s the only way for us to live a productive and fruitful Christian life.
Confession:
In Christ I am made alive! I am in Christ, therefore, I am a new creature. I am of God and I am alive in Christ Jesus. Jesus is made unto me wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
